How to Change Date and Time Linux on RHEL 6/7 and CentOS 6/7
This post assumed that your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6) does not have Date/Time Properties installed. In order to change the date and
In order to change date and time you will have to perform the changes from the command line. Note that in order to perform actions described in this post, you have to be logged in as a root:
1. Change the current date with the following form :
# date +%D -s YYYY-MM-DD
Linux Date Format : YYYY with a four-digit year, MM with a two-digit month, and DD with a two-digit day of the month.
Example :
# date +%D -s 2012-05-30 05/30/12
2. Change the current time with the following form :
# date +%T -s HH:MM:SS
If your system clock is set to use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), add the following option :
# date +%T -s HH:MM:SS -u
Note : HH stands for an hour, MM is a minute, and SS is a second
Example :
# date +%T -s 22:30:00 22:30:00
or
[root@rhel6 ~]# date +%T -s 22:30:00 -u 22:30:00
3. How to Display current date and time :
[root@rhel6 ~]# date Wed May 30 22:30:04 MYT 2012

How to Change Timezone Linux on RHEL 6/7 and CentOS 6/7
This post assumed that we will change the System Timezone from the command line without using redhat-config-date.
There are several files and directories that are used for time zones. In RHEL 6 and RHEL 6, there is one directory that very useful to select the appropriate time zone which is /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.
Sometimes we forget to set the correct time zone for the new linux system. This quick steps show how to change timezone on RHEL 6/7 and CentOS 6/7.
/usr/share/zoneinfo – this directory contains the System Timezone files that were compiled by zic. These are binary files and cannot be viewed with a text viewer. The files contain information such as rules about DST. They allow the kernel to convert UTC UNIX time into appropriate local dates and times.
In order to change the System Timezone of your system you will need to access the file or configuration using root.

How to Enable LDAP Authentication for Subversion on CentOS 6.2
This post will show the quick steps to enable LDAP authentication for existing subversion on linux CentOS 6.2. This guideline assumed that your existing subversion server has been configured properly and working with htpasswd user. This guideline also assumed that 389 LDAP has been installed but not yet configure in your subversion configuration file.
Prerequisites :
How to Install Httpd on CentOS 6.2
How to Install and Configure Subversion 1.6 on CentOS 6.2
How to Install 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2
Steps:
1. Append /etc/hosts for ldap server fqdn. If your ldap server has been registered on DNS server, you can skip this step.
[root@svn ~]# vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.1.44 svn.ehowstuff.local svn 192.168.1.48 ldap.ehowstuff.local ldap
2. Locate and open subversion.conf using vi editor
[root@svn ~]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
3. Modify the existing subversion.conf to below :
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn/repos
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthType Basic
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthName "My Subversion server"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://ldap.ehowstuff.local:389/DC=ehowstuff,DC=local?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)" NONE
AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/permissions/svnaccess
Require valid-user
</Location>
4. Restart httpd service :
[root@svn ~]# service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [ OK ] Starting httpd: [ OK ]
How to Tuning, Install and Configure 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2
389 Directory Server
1.0 Tuning 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2
This post will share with you on how to perform system tuning analysis, install and configure 389 Directory Server on linux CentOS 6.2 server. 389 Directory Server is an enterprise-class open source LDAP server for Linux. It is based on Fedora Directory Server. This post assumed that your CentOS server has been completely setup EPEL repository.
Before start to configure the 389 Directory Server, it is better to adjust some performance and security settings. Follow the following steps to tuning the 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2.
1.1 Perform TCP Tuning on 389 Directory :
a) Decrease the time default value for tcp_keepalive_time connection. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add the following lines to the bottom of sysctl.conf.
[root@centos62 ~]# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
#Decrease the time default value for tcp_keepalive_time connection net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300
b) Increase number of local system ports available by editing this parameter in the /etc/sysctl.conf file :
[root@centos62 ~]# echo "net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
Show changes :
[root@centos62 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
1.2 Perform File Tuning :
a) Increase the file descriptors by running these commands:
[root@centos62 ~]# echo "64000" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
Show changes :
[root@centos62 ~]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 64000
or
Simply run this command :
[root@centos62 ~]# echo "fs.file-max = 64000" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
Show changes :
[root@centos62 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep fs.file-max fs.file-max = 64000
b) Edit /etc/profile as below :
[root@centos62 ~]# echo "ulimit -n 8192" >> /etc/profile
Show changes :
[root@centos62 ~]# cat /etc/profile | grep ulimit ulimit -n 8192
c) Edit the file descriptors in /etc/security/limits.conf. Add two parameter at the bottom of the configuration file :
[root@centos62 ~]# vi /etc/security/limits.conf
# End of file * soft nofile 524288 * hard nofile 524288
1.3 Directory Server Tuning :
a) Edit /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv and uncomment “ulimit -n 8192”
[root@centos62 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv | grep ulimit
# hard limits are raised, then use ulimit - uncomment # ulimit -n 8192
Edit as below :
[root@centos62 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv
# In order to make more file descriptors available # to the directory server, first make sure the system # hard limits are raised, then use ulimit - uncomment # out the following line and change the value to the # desired value ulimit -n 8192
1.4 Sufficient Memory Assigned :
Make sure you have assign or upgrade the physical memory to at least 1024MB.

3.0 Setup and Configure 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2
On previous post, i already shows you on how to tuning and install 389 Directory Server on linux CentOS 6.2 server using EPEL repository. Again, before proceed to setup and configure 389 Directory Server on linux CentOS 6.2 server, please make sure that the hostname and FQDN also has been configured correctly.
3.1 Run the configuration script:
[root@centos62 ~]# setup-ds-admin.pl
Examples complete setup and 389 directory configuration :
[root@centos62 ~]# setup-ds-admin.pl
==============================================================================
This program will set up the 389 Directory and Administration Servers.
It is recommended that you have "root" privilege to set up the software.
Tips for using this program:
- Press "Enter" to choose the default and go to the next screen
- Type "Control-B" then "Enter" to go back to the previous screen
- Type "Control-C" to cancel the setup program
Would you like to continue with set up? [yes]: yes
==============================================================================
Your system has been scanned for potential problems, missing patches,
etc. The following output is a report of the items found that need to
be addressed before running this software in a production
environment.
389 Directory Server system tuning analysis version 10-AUGUST-2007.
NOTICE : System is i686-unknown-linux2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.i686 (1 processor).
Would you like to continue? [no]: yes
==============================================================================
Choose a setup type:
1. Express
Allows you to quickly set up the servers using the most
common options and pre-defined defaults. Useful for quick
evaluation of the products.
2. Typical
Allows you to specify common defaults and options.
3. Custom
Allows you to specify more advanced options. This is
recommended for experienced server administrators only.
To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Enter key.
Choose a setup type [2]:
==============================================================================
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the computer
on which you're setting up server software. Using the form
.
Example: eros.example.com.
To accept the default shown in brackets, press the Enter key.
Warning: This step may take a few minutes if your DNS servers
can not be reached or if DNS is not configured correctly. If
you would rather not wait, hit Ctrl-C and run this program again
with the following command line option to specify the hostname:
General.FullMachineName=your.hostname.domain.name
Computer name [centos62.ehowstuff.local]:
==============================================================================
The servers must run as a specific user in a specific group.
It is strongly recommended that this user should have no privileges
on the computer (i.e. a non-root user). The setup procedure
will give this user/group some permissions in specific paths/files
to perform server-specific operations.
If you have not yet created a user and group for the servers,
create this user and group using your native operating
system utilities.
System User [nobody]:
System Group [nobody]:
==============================================================================
Server information is stored in the configuration directory server.
This information is used by the console and administration server to
configure and manage your servers. If you have already set up a
configuration directory server, you should register any servers you
set up or create with the configuration server. To do so, the
following information about the configuration server is required: the
fully qualified host name of the form
.(e.g. hostname.example.com), the port number
(default 389), the suffix, the DN and password of a user having
permission to write the configuration information, usually the
configuration directory administrator, and if you are using security
(TLS/SSL). If you are using TLS/SSL, specify the TLS/SSL (LDAPS) port
number (default 636) instead of the regular LDAP port number, and
provide the CA certificate (in PEM/ASCII format).
If you do not yet have a configuration directory server, enter 'No' to
be prompted to set up one.
Do you want to register this software with an existing
configuration directory server? [no]:
==============================================================================
Please enter the administrator ID for the configuration directory
server. This is the ID typically used to log in to the console. You
will also be prompted for the password.
Configuration directory server
administrator ID [admin]:
Password:
Password (confirm):
==============================================================================
The information stored in the configuration directory server can be
separated into different Administration Domains. If you are managing
multiple software releases at the same time, or managing information
about multiple domains, you may use the Administration Domain to keep
them separate.
If you are not using administrative domains, press Enter to select the
default. Otherwise, enter some descriptive, unique name for the
administration domain, such as the name of the organization
responsible for managing the domain.
Administration Domain [ehowstuff.local]:
==============================================================================
The standard directory server network port number is 389. However, if
you are not logged as the superuser, or port 389 is in use, the
default value will be a random unused port number greater than 1024.
If you want to use port 389, make sure that you are logged in as the
superuser, that port 389 is not in use.
Directory server network port [389]:
==============================================================================
Each instance of a directory server requires a unique identifier.
This identifier is used to name the various
instance specific files and directories in the file system,
as well as for other uses as a server instance identifier.
Directory server identifier [centos62]:
==============================================================================
The suffix is the root of your directory tree. The suffix must be a valid DN.
It is recommended that you use the dc=domaincomponent suffix convention.
For example, if your domain is example.com,
you should use dc=example,dc=com for your suffix.
Setup will create this initial suffix for you,
but you may have more than one suffix.
Use the directory server utilities to create additional suffixes.
Suffix [dc=ehowstuff, dc=local]:
==============================================================================
Certain directory server operations require an administrative user.
This user is referred to as the Directory Manager and typically has a
bind Distinguished Name (DN) of cn=Directory Manager.
You will also be prompted for the password for this user. The password must
be at least 8 characters long, and contain no spaces.
Press Control-B or type the word "back", then Enter to back up and start over.
Directory Manager DN [cn=Directory Manager]:
Password:
Password (confirm):
==============================================================================
The Administration Server is separate from any of your web or application
servers since it listens to a different port and access to it is
restricted.
Pick a port number between 1024 and 65535 to run your Administration
Server on. You should NOT use a port number which you plan to
run a web or application server on, rather, select a number which you
will remember and which will not be used for anything else.
Administration port [9830]:
==============================================================================
The interactive phase is complete. The script will now set up your
servers. Enter No or go Back if you want to change something.
Are you ready to set up your servers? [yes]:

5.0 Configure Iptables Firewall for 389 Directory Server on CentOS 6.2
I will show the ports that need to be by passed in iptables firewall in order to make 389 Directory server accessible and working perfectly. Before the Windows Console (installed 389 Console.msi) from client’ PC connecting to 389 administration server, there are 3 important ports has to opened from iptables firewall. This will allow linux administrator or LDAP administrator to perform LDAP server search query or linux administration’s task. There are three(3) ports that are normally should be opened on 389 Directory Server.
a) Port 389 (ldap)
b) Port 636 (ldaps – only if using TLS/SSL)
c) Admin server port (9830 by default)
5.1 Run netstat command to see opened port :
[root@centos62 ~]# netstat -plunt Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1105/sshd tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1140/postmaster tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9830 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1415/httpd.worker tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 1105/sshd tcp 0 0 ::1:5432 :::* LISTEN 1140/postmaster tcp 0 0 :::389 :::* LISTEN 1792/ns-slapd
5.2 Open the iptables firewall configuration file then enable port 389, 636 and 9830 go through iptables firewall :
[root@centos62 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables
5.3 Add these three(3) lines:

Tested Workarounds :
I think this is bug that need to be fix.
/usr/lib/ = Library for CentOS 32 Bit
/usr/lib64/ = Library for CentOS 64 Bit
I have two workarounds for this issue. If you have any suggestions and recommendations and corrections, please do let me know. By the way, i have tested both workaround, it workings perfectly on my zimbra lab server.
Workaround 1 :
Create symbolic link to the following file :
[root@mail ~]# ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
Verify the created symbolic link :
[root@mail ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Mar 31 20:30 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
Workaround 2 :
Download libstdc++ 32 bit installer :
[root@mail ~]# wget http://centos.ipserverone.com/centos/6.2/os/i386/Packages/compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686.rpm [root@mail ~]# wget http://centos.ipserverone.com/centos/6.2/os/i386/Packages/compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-144.el6.i686.rpm [root@mail ~]# wget http://centos.ipserverone.com/centos/6.2/os/i386/Packages/libstdc++-4.4.6-3.el6.i686.rpm [root@mail ~]# wget http://centos.ipserverone.com/centos/6.2/os/i386/Packages/libstdc++-devel-4.4.6-3.el6.i686.rpm [root@mail ~]# wget http://centos.ipserverone.com/centos/6.2/os/i386/Packages/libstdc++-docs-4.4.6-3.el6.i686.rpm
Install the rpm packages :
[root@mail ~]# rpm -ivh compat-libstdc* libstdc++* --nodeps Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:libstdc++ ########################################### [ 20%] 2:libstdc++-devel ########################################### [ 40%] 3:libstdc++-docs ########################################### [ 60%] 4:compat-libstdc++-33 ########################################### [ 80%] 5:compat-libstdc++-296 ########################################### [100%]
Verify the libstdc installed packages exist in /usr/lib :
[root@mail lib]# pwd /usr/lib [root@mail lib]# ls | grep libstdc libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.0.13
How to Check Routing Tables on Fedora 16
In Linux operating system, routing table is used by the computer networks or servers to stores the routes of the destinations that responsible for forwarding. Routing tables contain a list of IP addresses and each of IP addresses identifies a network gateway. In this post, i will show you three ways to check and display the linux Routing Table on Fedora 16 server.
By using Route Command :
Route manipulates the kernel’s IP routing tables. Its primary use is to set up static routes to specific hosts or networks via an interface after it has been configured.
By using netstat command :
Netstat prints information about the Linux networking subsystem such as network connections, routing tables and interface statistics.
1. Display routing table using “route -n” :
[root@fedora16 ~]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p3p1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 p3p1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 p3p1
2. Display routing table using “netstat -rn” :
[root@fedora16 ~]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p3p1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 p3p1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 p3p1
3. Display routing table using “ip route show” :
[root@fedora16 ~]# ip route show default via 192.168.1.1 dev p3p1 169.254.0.0/16 dev p3p1 scope link metric 1002 192.168.1.0/24 dev p3p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.47

How to Setup Local Yum Repository from CD-ROM/DVD-ROM image on Fedora 16
In this post, i will share on how to install, update and remove RPM packages from CD-ROM/DVD-ROM image or local yum repository on linux Fedora 16 server. This will very useful when you are running on slow internet connection. Instead of go through the internet connection, it is possible to use local repository to install the module and package. Follow these steps to setup your local CD-ROM/DVD-ROM yum repository on linux Fedora 16 server.
1. Mount your DVD into /mnt or /media. It’s depend on you.
[root@fedora16 ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
2. Enter to /mnt directory and list out the files :
[root@fedora16 ~]# cd /mnt [root@fedora16 mnt]# ls GPL RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-ppc RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-sparc64 images RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-16-primary RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-ppc64 RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64 isolinux RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-16-secondary RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-s390 TRANS.TBL Packages RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-arm RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-s390x repodata RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386 RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-sparc
3. Create files fedora16.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d and enter the following lines :
[root@fedora16 ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora16.repo
Enter these lines in fedora16.repo :
[Fedora16-Repository] name=DVD-Fedora16 Repository baseurl=file:///mnt enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Please proceed to step 4 – step 8 when you perform yum command to install the package or module and get the following error :
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
4. Create repo.disabled inside /etc/yum.repos.d :
[root@fedora16 ~]# mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.disabled [root@fedora16 ~]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ fedora16.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo repo.disabled
6. Then moved all these 3 repo files into “repo.disabled” folder :
[root@fedora16 ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.disabled [root@fedora16 ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.disabled [root@fedora16 ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/repo.disabled
7. List out the updated files and folders inside /etc/yum.repos.d :
[root@fedora16 ~]# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/ total 8 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 92 Mar 18 00:09 fedora16.repo drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Mar 18 01:27 repo.disabled
Note : Only file fedora16.repo and folder repo.disabled should be exist.
8. Run yum clean all to clear up your yum cache directory :
[root@fedora16 ~]# yum clean all
Cleaning repos: Fedora16-Repository Cleaning up Everything
9. Steps completed. You can start using yum command as usual.
[root@fedora16 ~]# yum install module/package [root@fedora16 ~]# yum update module/package [root@fedora16 ~]# yum remove module/package
